Mike32282 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I LOVE Boston Legal! James Spader is PERFECT for that character. He's so evil and slimey, it's GREAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I watched Extreme Makeover, but i thought they went a little over the top this time. I've seen more deserving families. I think last weeks was a TOUGH act to follow. But this week, 2 new vehicles? JEEZ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Plus all that farm equipment also. Tractors are not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Plus all that farm equipment also. Tractors are not cheap. 128374[/snapback] No stevestojan. Neither are barns; what was the square footage on that? My uncle had to rebuild after a fire and it was beaucoup bucks. There are families with sadder stories out there, I suppose, but how do you pick b/w them? Add in that the house was literally about to fall down. Did you see the stuff by the tub (what was that?) and the rotted-out 2x4s that served as the "foundation"? Also, ABC probably wanted to reach out to a "red state"/Heartland. A family that needed a leg up got a new start. Much better than spending $5M producing a sitcom/reality crap. Kudos to ABC and Sears for making a semblance of a difference.

But it really wasn't much of a barn, just a roof with 4 open sides. As for a heartland state, they kept saying Bakersfield, isn't there a Bakersfield in California?

aussiew Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 I thought it was Bakersfield, CA. But the outer areas of Bakersfield are mostly farms. Perhaps he meant "heartland" socio economically rather than geographically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As transplanted Oklahomans I guess they are the heartland. BTW...Bakersfield is one butt ugly town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he meant "heartland" socio economically rather than geographically. 129219[/snapback] I didn't even realize it was CA. It was. Couldn't even tell. I assumed b/c they had Randy Travis that it was in the Midwest. And that ABC would go the campy route. Does this blunder further the contention that the so-called red/blue divide is WAAAY overblown? 60,000 sq. ft. That's not bad, and not cheap. ~200ft x 300ft. It was simply for storing hay, so maybe just doing a roof (and they did have sides going down a little ways, and the possibility for tarping, etc.) was all they needed. It didn't look like an area that got a lot of rain.... On Edit: The barn And may I just chime in that Constance Ramos is STACKED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
